SEMESTER 2 WRITING TEST - FORM 10

Choose the correct option.

I love travelling by plane! We usually have to set       [off, away, after, over] very early because a lot of flights leave first thing in the morning. I usually wear old, comfortable clothes during the                       [journey, tour, voyage, travel]so that I can relax. I love that feeling when I sit down in my seat and                     [lock, join, tie, fasten]my seatbelt, and I know the plane is about to take off. I don’t usually have a         [ fat  , heavy , strong, hard] meal before I leave, but I have a snack because the food on the plane is never very nice. Some people dislike flying, but for me it always provides a          [ time  , stop  , break  , distance]from my everyday routine, and I can sit back and enjoy being far above the earth.

Last summer I decided to go on a special summer camp for teenagers who study a lot and don’t always get enough exercise. I knew that I needed to           [keep   ,  come   , fall    , become]in shape, and I thought it might be a fun way to do it.

Choose the correct word to complete the text.

My friend and I decided to go to Spain for the holidays. Of course, we weren’t ready on time and we were afraid we might                   [transport, catch, miss] the train to the airport, so we took a taxi. Unfortunately, it was                  [catch, short cut, rush] hour, so we got                  [shortcut, rush, stuck]in traffic and it took us ages to get there.Then we discovered that we were at the wrong terminal, so we had to            [rush, easy-going, catch] a bus to another part of the airport and we barely made our flight. Luckily, we’re both quite                   [easy-going, jam, stuck]so we didn’t get stressed, and we certainly didn’t let such minor problems spoil our holiday!

After reading about the new 280-metre-long               [jam, stuck, suspension] bridge in Taiwan , we were determined to go and see it. We couldn’t get there by public           [stuck, fresh, transport], so we hired a car to get there. We left during the morning rush hour, so the trip was very slow. My friend, who is very impatient, decided to take a          [fresh, track, shortcut] instead of going on the main road, so of course we got lost, and ended up on a dirt            [track, miss, suspension]in the middle of nowhere. We did eventually get to the bridge, but it is so long and high that I was afraid to cross it! Never mind, it was still a very scenic trip.
